[Click here for a larger version of the Microsoft drawing.] It’s mostly useless but typical of what you’d expect in a Microsoft marketecture diagram.

Microsoft has subsequently updated their conceptual architecture diagram (March 1, 2017). It now looks like this (at the same URL noted above). The new diagram is an improvement and I can’t help but imagine it was influenced by my ArchiMate model.

As a footnote to the above architecture, I believe it is way too complex as a single, independent developer workstation. It’s a Microsoft architecture that is trying to do too many things: e.g. support developers as well as serve as reference architecture and deployment for IT Pros. You can’t serve these same 2 masters with the same solution.
